When reached by the Daily News for comment, Lynn Bushnell, vice president for public affairs at Quinnipiac, said, “The university does not comment on pending legal matters.”

Andrew Badillo, who is a reporter for Quinnipiac’s TV station Q30, first wrote about the court filings when Seeley filed a lawsuit. Badillo said the Harvard game was the tipping point for the coach.

Prior to the 2015 game, players had accused Seeley of both physical and verbal abuse in end-of-season surveys.

Many members of the Quinnipiac women's ice hockey team wrote about the behavior of their coach in end of season surveys between 2009-2015.

“Instances where he tells players to slip their wrists if they weren’t playing up to par in his eyes, and he would also make pointed threats to individual players in front of the entire team. One player said she couldn’t even keep track of how many times he called her (expletive) stupid,” Badillo said to WTNH.

One player in 2009 wrote “coach was a crazy man” and another in the 2012-2013 surveys said Seeley would “throw people’s sticks across the room, pushed a player off a bench and made them feel 'worthless.' ”

Seeley and his lawyer, Bob Mitchell, who denied the allegations to WTNH, did not return a call to The News for comment.

Allegations against Seeley go back to his first NCAA Division I coaching job with Clarkson.

When Q30 first ran the story of the allegations against Seeley in 2015, former Clarkson players reached out to the outlet to speak out about his abuse there.

Courtney Bills played for Seeley in his first season at the school and she, too, said she was grabbed by the coach after lifting her leg when a slap shot was coming at her and the incident scared her so much she urinated in her pants.

“And I got to the bench and he grabbed me by the jersey, and just, how he probably did the same thing to this other girl (in the NCAA Tournament), and said ‘If you do that one more time, I’m going to f---ing cut your legs off,” Bills said Q30.
